(4,571 posts)I am a contributor to The Upshot at The New York Times (March 2014-). I previously served as a media critic for Columbia Journalism Review (November 2011-February 2014). I also blog at brendan-nyhan.com and tweet at @BrendanNyhan. I've been called "one of the most thought-provoking writers about politics on the web", part of "a new breed of conscientious political science bloggers" who are "creating reputational hazards to seat-of-the-pants punditry," and a "political science shaolin warrior".
From 2001-2004, Ben Fritz, Bryan Keefer, and I edited Spinsanity, a non-partisan watchdog of political spin that was syndicated in Salon (2002) and the Philadelphia Inquirer (2004). In 2004, we published All the President's Spin, a New York Times bestseller that Amazon.com named one of the ten best political books of the year.
Previously, I was a marketing and fundraising consultant for Benetech, a Silicon Valley technology nonprofit, and Deputy Communications Director of the Bernstein for US Senate campaign in Nevada. I grew up in Mountain View, CA and attended Swarthmore College.

Not particularly interested in arguing the point with you either, as we all know that "anti-anti-vaxers" are completely resistant to dialogue and have the peculiar habit of insulting anyone who doesn't agree with them in every aspect.
